Pain is part of a healthy recovery

Recovery from surgery may not be as painless as patients would like, but sometimes pain is necessary, wrote UTMB Dr. Michael Warren in his It’s Your Health column. Patients who are in pain should discuss it with their doctors and nurses. “Tell them how you feel; if you don’t tell them where it hurts, they can’t help you,” he wrote.
